About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Friendship State Bank one morning, frowning as he noticed an old lady waving frantically from inside. He parked and rushed in, only to find her dancing enthusiastically around the counter while humming an unfamiliar tune. ‘Ma’am,’ said the perplexed delivery driver, ‘are you okay?’ She stopped for a moment, smiled warmly, then continued singing softly and twirling around. A few minutes later, she finally remembered why she was there—she needed to withdraw some money. The whole town still talks about that day when Friendship State Bank’s regulars got their weekly cash dance.’

2. At dawn, when most banks were still locked tight, an old man began arriving at Friendship State Bank. He’d slip in through the side door, muttering to himself, and emerge minutes later with a smile on his face. One morning, a delivery driver noticed him stuffing envelopes into his bag. ‘What are you doing?’ he asked. The old man grinned, ‘Just making sure our checks arrive on time!’ Turns out, he was the bank’s secret mailman all along.

3. At lunchtime, a delivery driver pulled up to Friendship State Bank, puzzled by a sign in the window that read: ‘Today’s Special: Smile and Your Deposit Will Be Doubled!’ The delivery driver smiled broadly, thinking it was some kind of joke. To his surprise, when he deposited his package, the teller cheerfully announced, 'Welcome to Friendship State Bank—your deposit is now doubled!' The driver left with a doubled sense of joy and an even broader smile, never realizing he'd just been part of their friendly daily gimmick.

4. At midnight, when the town slept soundly, a mysterious figure kept appearing outside Friendship State Bank's closed doors. One night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked the guard if he could use the restroom. The guard nodded, but as soon as the man disappeared inside, the ghostly figure vanished too. Turned out it was just an old janitor, a regular, who’d been sneaking in for years to avoid paying for coffee.
